British Comedy Adaptation ‘Friday Night Dinner’ Lands Pilot at CBS

Back in 2011 it was reported that The Office’s Greg Daniels was adapting the British comedy series Friday Night Dinner for NBC that was not ordered to series, but today the show is getting a second shot on another network. Deadline reports that CBS has given a put-pilot commitment to a new adaptation of the Channel 4 series, which “focuses on the regular dinner experience of a family each Friday night.” Original Friday Night Dinner creator Robert Popper will write the US version, though it’s not yet known whether it will be single-cam like the original or take on CBS’s more common multi-cam format.
